(Reuters) - Twenty-two people have been arrested for throwing objects and setting off fireworks following Ajax Amsterdam's 2-1 Dutch cup semi-final win at Feyenoord on Wednesday, national broadcaster NOS reported on Thursday.
Ajax's Davy Klaassen suffered a head injury when he was hit by an object thrown from the stands, causing a lengthy delay as players from both teams walked off the pitch.
Feyenoord said they decided to partially close a section of Feyenoord Stadium for the home match against AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-final on April 13. The Dutch football association said it would introduce stricter measures on Thursday. The referee will automatically stop a match if objects are thrown onto the field from the stands or if a fan invades the pitch. If an object hits any player or the referee, the match will be terminated.
